Quote:More than half a million [women] have had or considered having the procedure due to lack of education and diverse representation, survey shows

Quote:Pornography and social media are driving a rise in [women] having or considering labia surgery, with images and videos distorting perceptions of what genitalia look like, a new report has found.

The surgery, known as labiaplasty, is one of the fastest growing cosmetic procedures among young [women] in Australia and worldwide.

While there may be health reasons for reducing the size of labia, the rise in labiaplasties is being driven by women [and] girls [...] wanting to alter the look of their vulva purely for cosmetic reasons.
